THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1902. C T FUN 15 PLENTY IN"HELLD, BILL™ Goodhue’s Farce Com- edy at California Is Amusing. Trained Horse at Orpheum Proves- Hit of the Season. That cheerful liar, the “Man From Mex- ico,” has had a large hand in inspiring | “Hello, Bil,” Willis Maxwell Goodhue's | farce comedy, at the California Theater | this week. Like that gifted tarradiddler, ‘ Mr. Goodhue's hero, General William Ful- | ler, has to make an enforced disappear- ance of some days at his beloved coun- | try’s expense, and to explain his sixty | days’ absence in gaol has to draw upon a | willing but untamed imagination. The complications are many, rather shopworn, | bu uningenious. William Fuller first | gets into trouble through being the victim | of a gambling raid. Under an assumed name he goes to serve his sentence of sixty days. Unfortunately, Willilam has married a wife on the eve of his impris- orment and is sadly put to it to explain his untimely departure. An ingenious | person of the Happy Hooligan type ad- | vises him to go to the Cuban war—in the | explanation—and fight for his country. He | does 80, and things would have gone well | enough had there not happened to be an- other William Fuller at the front, who | gets himself made a general. His three | months ower, the first Fuller, who has | beeu thus made a general much against | his will, returns to his star-spangled home, and in the bosom of his proud his troubles begin.

The Yankee comedy four gave the audience quite a treat in the laugh line. Their singing is excellent and their comedy work is surpassing. One of the troupe, Frank J.

Claims to Have Been Drugged and Despoiled of Three Rings. A handsomely gowned young woman, who gave her name as Maud Delaney, has reported to the police that she was robbed of diamonds amounting in value to $800. She sald she accompanied a supposed friend of hers named Wilson to Lis room in the Gillespie lodging-house and while there she was induced to take a couple of drinks of liquor. She thinks the last drink she took was heavily crugged, as she says she lost conscious- ness immediately after drinking it When she awoke she claims she found herself lying on the bed and three dia- mond rings which she wore when she cntered the room were missing. One of them was a particularly handsoume stone, and cost her, so she said, $25. The other two diamonds were smaller, aggregating in value $275. According to the complainant Wilson Las been in the employ of the Fulton Iron Works, and she says she has known him intimately for some time. She said | =he had never accompanied him anywhere before, and went to his room on this occasion only because he gave the pre- text that he wanted to ge: his overcoat. Detectives were detailed on the case and visited the lodging-house in ques- tion. Mrs. Gillespie, the proprietress, ad- mitted that a man who, answered Wil- son’s description had engaged a room there and had remained about a week. On the night of the alleged robbery he disappeared and she has not seen him since. She could tell nothing of his occu- pation or whereabouts. Inquiry at the Fulton and other iron works in the city failed to establish the fact that Wilson was employed at any of them. The po- lice believe that he has left the city with his booty.

Enraged by Ernesto’s (the nephew) opposition, the old gentle- man vows he will take a wife himself and cut off ‘his undutiful her-at-law with the customary shilling. “‘All right,” says the nephew, but a mutual friend, Dr. Mala- testa, plots in his behalf and that of the | |lady who is the cause of Ernesto’s obsti- nacy.

Imposing Processional of Laymen and Clergy on Streets. g St. Dominic’s Church, Steiner street, was crowded to its capacity yesterday morning when the beautiful ceremonies of the Feast of the Rosary were per- formed with all religious solemnity. At 10:30 o'clock baskets of the daintiest roses were reverently placed at the steps of the altar and then the Very Rev. Father Pius Murphy, Vicar General of the Dominicans of the coast, came for- ward and blessed the flowers, after which ceremony they were scattered and dis- tributed among the vast congregation. The rose being deemed the most beau- tiful of flowers, it has always been taken as a symbol for the Feast of the Rosary, which is one of the most beloved of all Roman Catholic devotions. For that rea- son the roses are blessed and used by the faithful as a means of gaining many spiritual gifts. After the blessing by the Rev. Father Murphy, solemn high mass was said by the Very Rev. Father Clancey. Father O'Daniels preached the sermon, in which he traced the progress of the institution of the rosary from its incep- tion to the present day and made a press- ing exhortation that his hearers be faith- ful in the practice of the ceremony. The procession was then formed and wended its way from the church along Steiner, Pine, Pierce and Bush streets in the following order: Grand marshal—J. B. Mclntyre.

Fathers O'Daniel and Barrington were on either side of the Very Rev. Father Murphy throughout the procession. 5 The choir chanted “The Mysteries of the Rosary” from the time the proces- | sion left the sacred edifice until it re-en- tered the church. The streets along which the imposing religious march was made were lined with people, and it was everywhere remarked that while the Feast of the Rosary had been observed with grandeur on previous | years, nothing so great as yesterday's procession had been seen before. THE FEAST AT ST. MARY’S. At St. Mary’s Church (Paulist) the | Feast of the Holy Rosary was celebrated | yesterday morning in a special manner. | The celebrant was the Rev. Michael J. deacon of the mass, the sub-deacon being the Rev. Father Henry H. Wyman. The music was rendered by St. Mary's | augmented choir and was especially fine. Miss Marie Giorgiani presided at the or- gan and at the offertory Alfred Ronco- vieri rendered a sacred solo oh the trom- bone. The sermon was preached by the Very Rev. M. P. Smith, who took for his theme the significance of the October devotions. He portrayed in a masterly manner the manifestations of divine Providence in pastor, the vicar of Christ and the suc- cessor of the Prince of the Apostles. In no age, said the reverend father, had this special Providence been more mani- | festly revealed than during the time of the present Pontiff, Leo XIIL Father Smith said that the Holy Father recognized his divine commission from God, and full of faith and confidence in the divine promises had enjoined on all by means of the rosary for protection of the church and the Apostolic See, upon | which, he said, all nations and peoples un- | der the sun depended for their knowledge | of divine truth—the grace of eternal sal- vation. JOSH DAVIS DIES AT FRENCH HOSPITAL Josh Davis, who for fifteen years was connected with the Elite Studio as super- intendent of the theatrical photograph de- partment, died Saturday, October 4, at the French Hospital. The deceased was well known among the theatrical profession of this country. There were few managers, actors or act- resses of note who were not acquainted | with him. He was a clever amateur actor himself and frequently 'was called upon to use his talent in benefits for profes- sionals in distress. His illness originated from an accident which occurred four years ago in Wood- ward's Pavilion, when a platform broke down and Davis was injured. The injury brought on dropsy. The deceased was born in England fifty- | five years ago. He was a member of the Foresters. The funeral will be held to-day at 10:30 a. m. from Mrs. Isaac's residence, Buch- anan and Sutter streets. —_———— Columbia Club Shooting.

Arrangements have been completed by Jim O'Brien. The *‘Cabi- | net's” reason for holding a special ses- sion is to decide on statesmen who are sufficlently friendly to be entitled to in- vitations. Gavin McNab will not be invited, as ke is not on the ‘“Cabinet’s” caliing list. Bernard D. Murphy must be out on “the highways and byways” and will not be able to attend. Samuel Braunhart is busy making his fight for Rallroad Commissioner and has sent his regrets and Al McCabe, who says he’s “no man's man,” must attend an out-of-lown meet- ing. Charles Wesley Reed will attend the theater party. It has already been de- cided to allow Reed to go, as he is to pay for the fifty seats. The matter was debated at length and but for the fact that the seats had not yet been paid for he might have been omitted. Reed and Ar- | thur Fisk wagered on the primary elec- tion at Sacramento, the loser to buy seats for the ‘““Cabinet” and friends. Reed iost and ordered seats for to-nignt. The generous members of the “Cabinet’” ‘subscribed $50, which will be used in pur- chasing a handsome floral piece for the ladies of the company.

Mountain Route That Would Command Great Travel Talked Of ———e Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Oct. & Pending the action of the Oakland City Council upon the application of the San Francisco Terminal and Ferry Company for a franchise through Third street, in this city, to tide water, there are several parties of surveyors working in various parts of Alameda County, all supposed to be in the interests of the new company. One corps of rallroad locators is work- ing upon a line running from the Liver- more Valley through the Haywards Pass into Haywards and then to Oakland. It has been running a line that passes di- rectly through the town of Haywards, keeping between the county road and the Lills, runs near the County Infirmary, enters San Leandro at Sybil avenue, runs through Elmhurst and crosses the main county road at Fitchburg, from which place it will reagh Oakland on a right of way a little south of the San Leandro road and finally connect with the fran- chises asked for in this city. Another ine is being run through the hills back of Fruitvale into Moraga Valley, over the line that was once located by the San Francisco and Salt Lake Railroad, which was incorporated some ten years ago by the late E. L. G. Steele. This line is said to be a very easy one and the survey8rs now in the fleld are merely making an- other survey over that made some ten years ago. % GOULDS ARE MENTIONED. The fact that the surveyors for the new San Francisco Terminal and Ferry Com- pany are working upon the old surveys of the San Francisco and Salt Lake Rail- read is regarded as confirmatory of the belief that the new road is backed by the Goulds. It was well understood at the time that the San Francisco and Salt Lake Rallroad was incorporated and sur- veyed that the work was being done in the interests of the Goulds. At that time the Goulds entered into a traffic agree- ment with the Southern Pacific Company and all work upon the San Francisco and Salt Lake Raflroad was stopped. Now the Goulds seem to be making new loca- tions along the lines that they ran years ago. This adoption of old Gould surveys by the new railroad has revived the story of the almost forgotten United .States Railroad, which was surveyed into Cali- fornia, from Denver some fifteen or lwenty years ago by the late Jay Gould. Gould and Huntington had quarreled over the division of traffic and Gould, who | then controlled the Union Pacific Rail- road, threatened to build into California. He put ten surveying parties in the fleld, each party having charge of one section between San Francisco and Denver and all under the control of Lyman Bridges. ‘With these relays of surveyors it took but a short time to complete the work. A compromis¢ between the railroad mag- nates followed and the United States Railroad was never built. But these surveys are still in the pos- session of the Goulds, and the fact that the Goulds are credited in the financial world with a desire to build to California, and that surveyors are working along all of the old surveys that are known to be in the possession of the Goulds, give color to the belief that the owners of the Mis- souri Pacific Railroad are behind much of the railroad activity in this neighborhood and the State at large.

The line of the old United States Rail- road survey cuts across the lower por- tion of Nevada, touching at Pioche; runs through the Great Armagosa Desert and crosses the Sierra Nevada Mountains just south of the Yosemite Valley, run- ning -about twenty ‘miles south of Wa- wona, the headquarters of the military government of the Yosemite National Park, and one of the most delightful spots in the State. From there the line drops down the Fresno River to Fresno Flats and then to the San Joaquin Val- ley. It was evidently the intention of the projectors of the United States Railroad to get as near the wonderful Yosemite Valley as possible in order to capture the travel to this great national park and the projectors ran as near Wawona, the real gateway to the Yosemite, as the moun- tainous condition of the country would permit. It was found necessary to make three loops in getting down the moun- tains from Wawona to Fresno Flats, but by .so doing easy grades were secured. Simultaneously with the appearance of surveyors working on the Gould surveys | about Oakland comes the news that a corps of men has been working in the mountains back of Wawona on the old Gould surveys in' that section. If this road is built, as the activity seems to in- dicate, it wil command most of the travel to -he Yosemite Valley by taking pas- sengers to the line of the national park i and within a few hours’ staging of the ley itself. w"x“h! work now being done around Oak- land seems to be to simply locate the terminus of the road now being surveyed through the mountains. ——— AUTOMOBILE CRASHES AGAINST STREET CAR An automobile controlled by Thomas Throwell, who is employed as a helper at the Union Iron Works, and also carrying A. C. Dodge and J. G. Jackson, ran into a street car which was standing at the cor- ner of Harrison and Sixth streets yester- day afternoon. At the time of the accl- dent the machine was moving at quite a rapid pace and it struck the car with force sufficient to shatter several of the car windows. The three men were thrown to the ground. Throwell, who was acting the part of chauffeur, and Jackson were so badly in- jured that they had to be taken to the Central Emergency Hospital. Throwell had a deep laceration of the forehead, his hip was contused, his nose was broken and one of his feet and a knee were sprained. The physicians fear that he may have sustained a fracture of the skull and that his injury may prove fatal. Jack- son was more fortunate, but he received a lacerated wound of the cheek and three fingers of his left hand were badly cut and bruised. Dodge escaped without any injuries, as far as is known. As soon as he could he disentangled himself from the wreck and left the scene. Fred Fitzpatrick, a saloon-Keeper, re- siding at 645 Natoma street, who was in the car at the time of the accident, was injured by the flying glass. He had to go the Central Emergency Hospital to be treated for a number of cuts on his face and head. The automobile was badly dmued.' Throwell was unable to explain how the accident occurred.

TWO ILLINOIS CONVICTS MUTILATE THEIR HANDS Chop Off Their Fingers to Avoid Be- ing Compelled to Work in Foundry. CHESTER, Ill, Oct. 5—Two convicts in the Southern Illinois penitentiary, ren- dered desperate by tortures inflicted upon them by labor too heavy for their frail strength, secured a hatchet and chopped off three fingers from the right hand of each. John Reagdon and G. Rose are the names of the men. They declare that a system of cruelty and brutality has been practiced upon the prisoners at this prison. After Reagdon and Rose muti- lated themselves to avoid being compelled to do heavy work in the foundry, they recelved medical attention, and it is as- serted that they were then compelled to stand in the block in th® prison yard the balance of the day. Harrowing tales are told of cruelties alleged to have been practiced by the keepers and wardens at this prison, and it is said that more than one unfortunate’s mind has failed under the strain of the black cell, the tremen- dous labor required of all convicts and the various forms of punishment meted out for trifling offenses.

The cook suffered a frac- ture of the left thigh, beilng tossed a dis- tance of thirty feet. Two miners were severely bruised. Among the more important buildings in- jured or destroyed were Porter Brothers’ store, opposite the hotel, the irom roof being torn off and tossed several hundred yards. A small store, which adjoined, was demolished. The Ballarat Hotel suffered extensive damage, one side being blown off the house, and the furniture of many rooms being hurled into the street and broken. A saloon near by was so struck by the storm that it was turned completely around. Many residences were blown to the ground. Eight persons, besides those of Porter Brothers’ Hotel, received injuries. Many of these were struck by flying missiles. Fully a score of persons were drenched to the skin. Horses and mules were dis- abled, but none were killed. Several burros were killed.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5—The preliminary steps have begn taken for the organiza- tion in the Episcopal church of an order of Paulist Fathers, to consist of priests and deacons in that church, who shall pledge themselves to the work of mis- sionaries, while earning their livelihood by secular work. They are not to receive any compensation from any congregation, mission, board or Bishop, or from any other source whatever, for their minis- trations in the church.

Y ESTERDAY’S Call contained the first half of that splendid novel of ‘the present day’s social and political life, “The Au- tocrats,” by Charles K. Lush; and on next Sunday, Octo- ber 12, this book will be completed. Here you have one of the standard works of fiction of the season free! Two issues of the Sunday Call, without any loss of news or feature matter, and a whole novel as well—all for ten cents. e “The Autocrats” is a story that is filled with the fresh and in- vigorating atmosphere of Western enterprise and energy. The mo- tive of the novel is founded upon the dramatic incident of a combi~ nation of politiclans and capitalists working to secure a street rail- way franchise in a Western city. The most prominent character of the book is a powerful and capable man who is a master hand at the manipulation of city councils. But here the game for which he is playing has a much higher stake—he hopes not only to get his coveted charter through, but to secure for himself the more valuahle prize of a seat in the United States Senate. This novel gives the most lifelike picture in fiction of the modern trust, the financial promoter and the group of men that always surround him—bankers, promoters, newspaper men and hangers-on. Besides such a strong setting and the accompanying quota of dramatic incidents that would naturally arise in such scenes, Mr. Lush writes a pretty love story through the weaving of the politicians and social strivers—a love story that is filled with human interest and will hold your un- divided attention from start to finish. The first half of this novel was published in the Sunday Maga- zine section of The Call yesterday,and will be completed on next Sun- day, October 12. Buy it at the bock stores and this book will cost you $1 50—read it in The Call and it costs you not a single cent extra. _ Other books of equal merit are to follow; just cast your eye over some of these titles and notice these names of famous authors who are on The Call’s fiction list.
